Anybody have a school that they liked working at? I'm hoping to teach in Daejeon or Bundang and I'm just looking for suggestions. (Am I just going to get a lot of school directors advertising their schools?)

In my experience - 3 years + in Korea, there are no "good hagwans".

There are only some that are some that are sort of acceptable and others that are f**((ng awful and a whole lot in between.

I don't know of anyone who is "happy" at their haggie, but then again if they get paid regularly and are at least 50% satisfied with the way the job is going, they are ahead of the game.

I'm sure some will disagree, but this has been my experience here.

Good Luck

I'm in my second year and I basically agree. If you can find a Hagwon with a foreigner looking after the foreign teachers, that helps (I'm thinkinf of some large branch hagwons I know). Basically, there are so many things standing between a foreigner and a good experience teaching at a Korean hagwon.
